GTCC COSMETOLOGY STUDENT EARNS THIRD PLACE IN STATE COMPETITION

"Guilford Technical
Community College’s cosmetology students are in the limelight once again.

Megan
Gardinier, a GTCC cosmetology student from High Point, recently earned third place in the Fantasy Hair and Makeup category
during the North Carolina State Fair Cosmetology Contest on Oct. 26.

Gardinier
chose the theme, "The Phoenix," for her costume because of what it
means to her personally. Gardinier explains: “In mythology the phoenix
symbolizes death and rebirth. When I decided to go back to school (at GTCC), I
considered it a rebirth of my life path, especially being older. Like a
phoenix, I am rising out of the ashes of my old life and starting a new
one."

GTCC
cosmetology student Mersadye Fuller of Kernersville served as Gardinier’s model
for the competition.

Guilford Technical
Community College is the third largest of 58 institutions in the NC Community
College System. GTCC serves more than 40,000 students annually from five
campuses and a Small Business Center. Learn more at www.gtcc.edu."
